Detailed explanation
## Season 1
KJ Kliner (Chris Webster) is the main personal threat to Reacher in Margrave. His father, Kliner Sr., and corrupt Secret Service agent Joe Picard are also key players in the counterfeiting scheme.
## Season 2
Shane Langston (Robert Patrick), New Age Security's head of security, is the season's central villain. He leads the attacks on Reacher's old 110th Special Investigators unit, while arms broker A.M. is the buyer on the other end of the missile deal.
## Season 3
Xavier Quinn (Brian Tee) is the big bad in season 3 and someone from Reacher's past. Zachary Beck looks like the boss at first, but Quinn is the one truly driving the criminal operation.
